how many days would you have to quit smoking if you are trying to save 5,000 dollars? 6.75 is how much cigarettes cost and the person smokes 2 packs a day.
Okay, so you need to find out first how much this person's daily smoking costs are, which you will then plug into 5000 = d*c 'd' being number of days and 'c' being cost per day. At $6.75 per pack, and two packs a day, we multiply 6.75 by 2 to get $13.50 per day. So our equation is now 5000 = d*13.5 Next, we'll divide both sides by 13.5 to isolate the variable 'd' 370.37 = d Since it's over 370 days it will take, we'll round the answer up. "To save $5000, you would have to stop smoking for 371 days"
